Coming Out The Closet podcast

1:14:43

Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Why Are People Wearing Those Cloudy Diamonds? 16:18

for 1 year siden16:18

16:18

We all are going through some things because you know life isn’t always fair but the purpose of this podcast is to keep you encouraged and bring a little bit more joy to your life. I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings but today we are talking about cloudy diamonds. Why do people feel like they want diamonds so bad that they go out and get those replicas? Is it because society said you need some diamonds? You don’t have to wear those big diamonds to be fly. Stop letting people get in your head and making you buy things you just don’t need. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

You already know I get excited when I’m behind the microphone so make sure you are locked in for this one. What I need from you all is to simply make sure you bathe before you get in an Uber, Elevator or on an Aircraft. If you are sharing a space with someone you might as well make sure you are keeping yourself clean and smelling nice. Take care of yourself before you go out and take on the world. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

Stop Trying to Mess With Your Hair 16:24

for 1 year siden16:24

16:24

I have a question…Why do y’all keep messing with your hair and putting weird dyes in it? It’s not making you look any younger and aren’t you worried about all that leaking out of your head? It’s time to embrace the age you are and stop trying to get rid of that gray and white hair. Enough is enough, people are doing way too much to try and ‘fix” their hair. It’s time to just love the way you are and throw all those hair modifications away. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

Life is crazy and it definitely isn’t easy so be ready because I have an important message for you today. Your self-esteem should not drop when I walk in the room. Command the room and have a little confidence please. There’s a bunch of ways where you can get your self-esteem up whether it be therapy or some sort of self-healing. It’s not about what you are driving, it’s not about what you are wearing, it comes down to you when we are talking about confidence. At the end of the day, you are not going to bring me down even if you think that will help bring you up. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

Be You, Baby 17:17

I am back so listen to the words coming out of this mouth. There is only one version of you so start loving yourself and just be you. I’m so tired of people trying to be someone that they are not. It’s just not necessary as there is more than enough space in this world for you to be just you. The world isn’t designed to love you so you better learn to love yourself. It is truly liberating to fully embrace who you are and live the life you want to live. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

Cast Out The Negativity 17:20

for 1 year siden17:20

17:20

What’s happening everybody? It is time to let the past go and bury all that old negativity. The only way you are going to keep elevating is if you get those negative people out of your circle. Don’t be calling my line if you are just going to be bringing me down with that negative energy. As long as you have air in your lungs you need to keep fighting rather than just sitting around and complaining. Surround yourself with good people that push you forward because if you surround yourself with snakes, you are bound to get bit. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

With or Without 17:10

Whether it be a designer bag or some financial success, many of y’all are so concerned about who you are when you got it all. The real question is, who are you when you don’t have those luxuries? You can’t be letting material items, other people or even your job be the only things that define you. Sometimes people just get caught up and forget who they are so it's time to get back to your core. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

Y’all ready for this one? It’s time for you to stop running somebody else’s race and to stop living vicariously through other people. Live your life and find your purpose on this earth. Too many people are caught up with what other people got going on when you should take control or your own life and handle your own business. Be happy with what you got and go blaze your own trail. I don’t know about you but nobody can hold me down because I’m on my own path and I can’t be stopped. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

I’ve been gone for a minute but I’m back and better than ever. What is a Karen? I had an encounter with a crazy lady at Publix the other day and her name wasn’t Karen but she rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t need these “Karens” in my life and I don’t have time for their bad attitude and sense of entitlement. You might try to provoke me but I won’t pay you no mind so get over yourself. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

Baby Mama 16:28

I don't know if you all feel this way but sometimes it feels like we are moving backwards as a society. What do we think of the phrase "Baby Mama" because I know my mom would feel disrespected being called that. I might be old-school but when it comes to having children, I think you need to make sure you have your partner's love and support before you commit to that. It might not always be possible, but let's try are best to take a step back and not rush these relationships. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…

Don’t Let Them Tell You No! 16:16

Alright, Alright, Alright! On this episode I am talking about what “No” means to me! For those people chasing your dreams, sometimes you need to breath life into your own vision so stop listening to the negative opinions of those around you. Put your plan on paper and go get it. Personally, I don’t understand “no” because there is always a way to overcome those obstacles if you put in the work. Take a breath, get yourself together and execute your vision. https://www.instagram.com/patricktcooper/ https://www.instagram.com/tidalleague/…
